Day 24, August

Control Your Speech

A gentle tongue (with its healing power) is a tree of life. Proverbs 15:4

The Bible says that if a person can control his speech, he can curb his entire nature: "For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech (never say the wrong things), he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature" (James 3:2)

No one is completely mature in the Lord, so there is always room for improvement. If your mouth is out of control, other areas of your life will also be out of control. Give your speech to God today. Ask Him to direct the words you speak, and allow Him to fill your mouth with words of life that lift up everyone around you.

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
